Twilight Soundtrack: Music for Mom AND Kids to Rock to!

Okay, so my addiction to Twilight has now rubbed off on my children.  Except not the books or the movie as they are obviously too young for that.  I’m talking about the movie soundtrack.   I have to say, I reeeally like the Twilight Soundtrack.  I did not pay much attention to the music when I watched the movie (and I’ve only seen it once believe it or not), but one day, I was browsing iTunes and the soundtrack was listed under best sellers.   So I checked it out.

I listened to every song on there and I actually really liked it.  So I bought the cd the next day when I was out shopping.

My kids are finally starting to get into music which is a nice and welcome change for me since until recently, the only thing I ever got to listen to in the car is the sound of Wow Wow Wubbzy on the DVD player.  So yes, I am thrilled that my boys will finally listen to music now instead.  Well evidently, I am not the only one who enjoys listening to the Twilight Soundtrack.  It is the only thing my kids want to hear as soon as we get in the car.

Tracks one and two in particular.  Track one is a song by Muse (a band I had never heard of until now) called Supermassive Black Hole.  My son Alex absolutely LOVES this song.  He’s a wannabe rock star so every time I play it, he busts out his air guitar and rocks out.  Something you’d have to see for yourself, but trust me it is friggin hilarious!  The funniest part is when he sings at the top of his lungs whether it is this song or another on and he sings the wrong words.  I don’t even bother correcting him because he gets pissed off if I do.  So I just listen and laugh under my breath.

Track two is my 3 year old Dennis’ favorite.  It is a song by Paramore (again, another band I have never heard of until now) called Decode.  I need earplugs when this song is on because Dennis screams every word.  He thinks the louder he sings the better it will be.  Amazingly, he actually knows the right words.  Oh and you can’t sing with him.  He has to have the spotlight during this tune and will freak if he doesn’t get his solo.  When Alex tries to sing along too there is an all out battle of the bands going on in the car.  I couldn’t even begin to describe how loud the two of them are.  It sounds like an animal getting castrated or something.  Deafening, screeching, ear piercing noise.

But hey, they have time to fine-tune their act anyway right?  At least they are interested in music now.  Besides, it IS entertaining for me to watch.  Who knows, according to his parents, Adam Lambert has been screaming since he was a baby and look where that talent got him.  Hell I’d be happy with an outcome like his wouldn’t you?   In the meantime, while my boys are perfecting their act, I am just going to enjoy the show.

Oh and in case you ae interested, the rest of the Twilight cd is really good too from what I have been able to hear of it - when I am ALONE in the car.  When I have the kids with me I can never get past the second song!  I’m okay with that though.  Afterall, there is only so much Wow Wow Wubbzy I can take!
